Built on a Foundation of Strength.
The FTA Shield Tee from Foundation Tattoo Apparel features a bold, battle-ready graphic inspired by classic tattoo symbolism and strong heraldic design. At the center is a striking black and gold shield with a sword running straight down the middle, representing strength, discipline, and protection.
Flanking the shield are two lightning bolts and starburst symbols, adding energy and impact to the design while reinforcing the bold, timeless style found in traditional tattoo flash. At the top sits the FTA mark—short for Foundation Tattoo Apparel—tying the entire graphic back to the brand.
The black and gold colorway pays homage to the unmistakable colors of Pittsburgh, reflecting the grit, resilience, and pride that define both the city and the culture behind the brand.
Printed on a premium soft cotton tee with a comfortable unisex fit, the FTA Shield Tee is built for everyday wear—whether you’re in the shop, on the street, or representing the foundation.
Stand strong.
